"Yeah, the Wussies could have suffered sleep depravation, denied basic acomodations aa required by law, denied access to attorneys" What a bummer. The NYPD should've at LEAST given out hacky sacks to keep them occupied.

Yeah, the Wussies could have suffered sleep depravation, denied basic acomodations aa required by law, denied access to attorneys, I mean, on any given day, they should have really sucked it up, instead of being girlie-men... As if.

They seem to be fine to me. How long were most of them held for? The better part of the day? Were most of them even charged??? Grow up Wussies. It could've been worse

My friend, who was not protesting, was simply running errands and he got trapped in a police blockade net, was arrested, and missed two days of work. Remember who supported unlawful arrests of innocent passers-by: Michael R. Bloomberg. Think about it this November in the voting booth.

That place must have been a living hell...for the cops who had to deal with those unwashed brats from New Jersey.

Amazing. At least 250,000 people protesting, 1,800 arrests and they thought it would be a "secondary" Facility? Nuts. I Suppose this could be CYA for The Hudson River Park Trust, but what did they expect the NYPD to do with the Space? Impound cars? Since it looks like the Pier wasn't inspected by the State Correction Commission, does that make all imprisonment there illegal and thus the city liable?

The police needs some kind of facility to hold and process large numbers of yuppies (*cough), protestors.
